I've had doctors prescribe antibiotics automatically for something that wasn't 
a bacterial 
infection. Other doctors have said that a drug is a 100% safe even though any 
scientist 
will acknowledge that there is no drug that is 100% safe. They didn't listen to 
their 
patient and assumed they knew the answer without  proper testing.

Some doctors think they are God. Is it the same with programmers?

End users see what the program will and will not do. They know (at least some 
of them) 
what they need and if a particular program fills that need. Developers who do 
not listen 
to what end users want will end up missing the boat.

OOo.org is a great product and has helped me with the process of becoming 
Microsoft 
free. Once I buy a Macintosh the process will be complete. I just hope that the 
attitude 
some on this list display will not stop others from leaving Microcrap products.
